Manchester auto repair shop damaged in hit-and-run

Vehicle likely is a 2004 or 2005 Chrysler Pacifica, police believe

A vehicle crashed into an auto repair shop in Manchester some time before Monday morning and fled.

The damage at the Prestige Auto Body shop on Frontage Road is severe, police said.

"I was half asleep, and I just said, 'Oh, I'll take a look at it when I get there. Then i walk up and go, 'oh my God,'" said David Ludwig, owner of Presitge Auto Body.

Police believe the vehicle failed to negotiate a turn from Frontage Road to Ross Avenue, causing the vehicle to go over the curb and into the building.

The vehicle, which police believe is likely a 2004 or 2005 silver Chrysler Pacifica, left a significant amount of debris at the scene, police said. Police believe the vehicle should have extensive damage on both ends.

The vehicle also likely struck a cement pillar as it fled northerly on Frontage Road.

Anyone with information is asked to call Manchester Police at 603-668-8711.
